I would love if there was some content here besides vague posting about Cloudflare bad. Like why? There truly is no thesis to convince me right now.

Also love the irony of getting an HN hug of death w/o Cloudflare

I finally ran Astra on a dashboard feature today, and while I was vibing it looked great, but then when it came time to actually read the code I was appalled because it was the worst looking code I had seen from an LLM since like last November. I mean it was just the definition of slop, not re-using anything, super terse with mega-ternaries, re-writing functions that should be using standard library packages, etc, etc. I think for coding I'm gunna stick with the 5.6 series of models, or maybe try out Anthropic again...

I've heard of orbs but what is it actually?

I was expecting some intense clicking game that would give me carpal tunnel lol

These graphics are great. Makes for a skimmable high signal article, nice work!

My girlfriend works at Broadcom doing chip design, and based on what she's told me they JUST got claude code like 3 weeks ago, so I really doubt this means anything beyond them vibe coding some scripts or something...

I have this problem too. The only thing that has 10x'd is my boss's expectations and the number of draft PRs I have open...

Aged like milk for sure.

Anecdotally, my friend's grandma was an almond farmer. As they drove past a river in the Central Valley, she exclaimed "Why is there water in that river?! Those could be watering my almond trees!"

I think you can just click anywhere within it and click and drag it

How itchy do those get?

A bit of feedback, the readme gifs are a little too fast, it's hard to tell what exactly is happening.

Plus US dollars just have that smell to them. I wouldn't mind though if we rotated out some of the faces on the bills, e.g. Andrew Jackson

Would you apply that similarly to RSUs at a public company as well? i.e. always sell your stock grant and diversify regardless of the company?

Yeah I was fully expecting this site to be making fun of all the wacko conspiracies about armageddon, such that it would make me feel better. But instead, the "Limit to Growth" summary seems entirely plausible.

Have they tried MongoDB?

A good clickbait title though, I probably wouldn't have clicked otherwise...

I was laid off in Aug 2022, found a new role in March 2023, then found another role in March 2024. So basically 2 roles in 2.5 years. It's fairly common in the bay area, especially since I'm in the startup space.

Read through your comment history and it sounds gnarly. I hope you find something soon. I was unemployed for 6 months in 2022-2023 and it was horrible. I guess I learned something from it, but I hated it. That said, I became employed after applying to a role by emailing the CTO after they posted on the monthly Who's Hiring thread. I've had 2 jobs from HN since.

HN has been huge for my career personally, so I made this site to help make it easier to find stuff that's good for you: https://hnresumetojobs.com/

Sincerely wishing you the best of luck.

True that SVP benefits from not serving a rural area, but we also need to consider again that PGE is a for-profit organization that in 2024 posted $2.5B in profits, which were distributed to shareholders[1]. If PGE were owned by the state with no such fiduciary duty, this money could instead be used to lower rates and/or invest in infrastructure.

The reason PGE is so expensive is because it's a privately owned monopoly with a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder returns. Additionally, the urban areas of California are subsidizing the fire prone rural areas of the state.

The "fake costs" are not primarily from regulation as much as it is from the need to squeeze profit. For comparison, look at Silicon Valley Power which is owned and operated by the city of Santa Clara. SVP charges $0.175/kwh vs PGE $0.425/kwh. [1]

Same! I was hoping this would have some insights into pitfalls or the like with javascript promises or python async, but alas no such luck.

What you're describing is an Orwellian dystopia, where a boot forces you to think a certain way. We live in a Huxleyan dystopia where there is so much so much to distract you that you become submissive.

Hacker hacks on project and gets posted to Hacker News. Commenter on Hacker News: No thanks, no hacking please.

HN was probably the last place I'd expected to see a romance novella, but that makes it all the more intriguing. I hope OP asks the daughter out.

Tried a public repo but it asked for a personal access token? No thanks. Otherwise great idea, but why should I give a personal access token for something that's publicly available, it really does not inspire confidence.

Personally I have checked 3/4 boxes here, and actively working on a job board currently for fun...

At least for a job board, it feels like it is useful, and also ultimately not that complex a piece of software. Which is nice for doing some light coding as opposed to things I usually deal with at work.

I grew up in Seattle, and moved to California in large part because of the seasonal depression I would get. I'm much happier in SF.

The conference coordinators said they would be released in about a month, so I will update the post once they are released! I am really excited to watch them again. Amazingly informative stuff.
